Chapter 124
In a room with little or no light was a lady tight to a chair, as she struggled to set herself free.
She didn’t know how she found herself locked up, the last thing she remembered was getting into a taxi after her car broke down.
“Is anyone there, please help!” She cries, face twisting in pain because of the rope tied around her wrist
“I need to get out of here,” she murmurs to herself.
As if being heard, the door flew open as a man in black walked in black followed by a lady.
“Who are you? And what do you want from me?” She asked in a trembling voice. She doesn’t understand why they are keeping her hostage.
It was dark, and the light coming from outside made it hard for her to see their faces.
“Please let me go!” Her cries came.
“Let you go? Are you serious right now?” Fiona’s voice sounds as she makes her way to where she is tied up.
“Do I know you? Who are you?” She stutters, unable to figure out the owner of the voice.
Fiona let out a sad laugh, “who am I?” She tilts her head to the side, “You’ve forgotten so soon? How sad!” Her tone was really sad.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Well, ” she takes the seat before her, “I’m sure it will be a pleasure for you to see me again after so many years, Dorah.” As soon as she said that, the entire room lit up.
Dorah closes her eyes out of reflex as she tries to get herself acquainted with the bright light.
Her eyes grow wide open in disbelief as she stares at the lady before her, “F-Fiona!!!!” She exclaims, unable to believe it’s real.
“This can’t be, she’s long dead” Dorah murmured to herself, swallowing her accumulated saliva.
“Surprise! I’m alive, Yaya!” Fiona looked so happy, but deep down, she was bleeding.
“It can’t be, you are dead” Dorah couldn’t bring herself to believe.
“I know right! I was supposed to be, but I’m not” Fiona picks up the form among the other equipment and spins it around as she stares at the lady before her.
Seeing the cold and devilish look on her face, Dorah starts shaking in fright. She doesn’t want to die, even though she knows she’s been an asshole throughout her youthful age.
“I didn’t do it intentionally, I swear” she starts begging.
Fiona’s lips pull up in a smile, “really?” She blows on the scissors and stares at her.
Dorah knows she’s done for, there is no way she can survive her punishment.
“I was so in love back then, I did it for love… I didn’t mean to put you through all the pain and stress. ” Dorah cries, she truly regrets everything but there is nothing she can do. The deeds have been done.
“love!” Fiona mutters,” That wasn’t love, it was obsession” she corrects.
“I’m sorry, spare me” Dirah could only cry, knowing she couldn’t escape and the only way to save herself was to beg.
“spare you? Really? ” Fiona was so offended by her words,” Did you spare me when I crawled on my knees, begging for your mercy? Did you even consider how hard and painful it was to be chased away by the person you love so much, leaving your child behind? No! You don’t, and it never bothered you” Fiona wipes away her tears.
“The first time I came into my home, I liked you so much. I thought you meant well, had I known you were the chameleon in our midst, I wouldn’t have trusted you so blindly” Fiona yells,” you not only toyed with my love life, but you toyed with my entire life” Fiona cries.
“Because of you, I hated everything about the Warrens and Austin, and now…And now, I’ve lost my children all because of you ” she said in-between her sob,” my Derrick… I killed my own grandchildren all because of my quest for revenge and by baby Smiles, she doesn’t even want to see me face… She hates my guts”
” And now, you are asking me to spare you? You never spared me so why should I? “She yells, and slumps back to the chair,” I’ve lost everything… no one wants to listen to me, no one seems to understand me… my children, nobody” Fiona laments.
” Ok, you tell me. What would you do if you were placed in my shoes, would you let that person who took away everything you’ve ever loved go away without paying? ” She asked, Dorah didn’t utter a word as she kept on crying silently.” I talking to you bitch, say something before I cut off your throat ” Fiona yells with so much anger and hatred
Dorah shakes her head in denial, ” I won’t…I won’t let her go away” she cries.
“Exactly, I can’t possibly be a coward now,” Fiona said, her gaze traveling to the scissors in her hands and then to the needles and blades by the side.
“But it’s too late, I’ve lost it all. There is no need killing you ’cause you will never bring back my children, they will never love me” Fiona so much wants to make her pay but she can’t.
She’s hurt Lisa more than she could ever have imagined and she doesn’t want to… not anymore. “I don’t want this, not anymore” she cries, there is no need for her to proceed with her revenge.
“I don’t want to feel this pain anymore, I just want to be happy with my children and grandchildren… I don’t want revenge anymore” she cries, the scissors slide out of her hands, and falls to the ground.
” I’m sorry, Fiona… I’m sorry” Dorah said crying, she regrets all that she did.
“It’s no use now, they are gone ” Fiona takes a deep breath, trying to calm down her aching nerves, “I wish I could make you feel all the pains I felt and more, but that won’t change anything. That will only make me as bad as you” She pushed herself up from the seat, “I hope your conscience is the judge, and I hope you are satisfied with your achievements leaving me with absolutely nothing to hold on to” With that, she left.
Dorah couldn’t stop herself from crying as she kept on apologizing. Bruce walks up to her,
“You know what, I don’t know if you have ever heard this but… you are a killer of joy” he crunched down to her level.
” I’m sure you don’t recognize this face, well, I will tell you” He stares into her eyes,” I am the son of the woman you killed because of how reckless you were twenty-one years ago”
“I’d so much wish to make you die most painfully and slowly ever but now, I no longer have the interest to kill you and do you know why? ” He asked.
Dorah shakes her head.
He smiles,” Because I’ve learned one thing from Fiona, it’s not all about revenge but about making you see how bad you are so your conscience will be your judge and that alone will suck away your life till you are left with nothing to hold on to” He stands up and untie her hands.
“You’ve got a nice niece and nephew, hope you appreciate them for bearing all your punishment and pain. Hope you see their worth and be the aunt and mom you to be for them” With that he left.
As Fiona earlier said, there is no need to kill her ’cause it won’t change anything. Neither will it make her children love her nor will it bring back Bruce’s mother to life.
